Carlos of Arroyave Studio is a vendor who has been selling with the Melrose Trading Pos for a few years. His colorful booth always draws patrons who are looking to brighten up their homes and office spaces.

We love his booth every Sunday, and his Instagram account, (@ArroyaveStudio) boasts gorgeous photos of his furniture, artwork and home decoration. The included photo is from his Etsy Store and is also featured on his Instagram account. Carlos goes out of his way to display his handmade and repurposed goods in such beautiful vignettes. Connect with Arroyave Studio on Facebook to see where his Pop-Up shop will be next!

See him at the Melrose Trading Post in the B100’s section almost every Sunday!

The Arts:Earth Partnership launched the Los Angeles Arts Sustainability Tour (LAAST) at Electric Lodge in Venice, CA on Saturday, August 9th, 2014, in order to harness the power of the arts sector to help create healthier, happier and more sustainable communities. The second tour stop is taking place at our theater, the Greenway Court Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, November 8th, 2014.

LAAST is designed to be a fun, informative, neighborhood-based event featuring art, information and sustainable education. At each tour stop LAAST will offer attendees programs and information, including brief expert presentations on topics such as Climate Change (presented by a Nasa Scientist), the new Los Angeles City Sustainability Plan, Energy Efficiency, Being Water-Wise, Understanding Your Utility Bill and Multi-Modal Transportation (Getting around town without a car!).

Attendees will learn how to save money by making smart choices that reduce consumption and open access to rebates and services offered by L.A. DWP and the City of Los Angeles. The LAAST tour is the first stop to making healthier choices and will teach attendees how going green can be easier and more affordable at home and work.

In addition to the expert presentations, the event will feature a light breakfast, live entertainment, kids activities, compost pick-up, e-waste, bike valet and free sustainable giveaways such as aerators, shower heads, and native seed packets. Best of all, it’s FREE!

It is only fitting that Los Angeles as the “Creative Capitol of the World” is now the first city in the country with a state recognized green business certification program specifically designed for the Arts & Cultural Sector. Arts: Earth Partnership was recently awarded 90K as an “At-Large L.A. DWP Community Partner” in order to further this mission. Come out and join AEP, Greenway and all of our partners and sponsors on November 8th!

In true “Choose Your Adventure” style, the Melrose Trading Post will take you through the market to discover the local artists that show their work at this LA community market. You can choose the old-fashioned method with a brochure that includes a map of the market OR the eco-friendly way via Facebook, Twitter,Instragram or the MTP Blog on your smart phone or tablet!

Each week several artists, artisans, craftspeople and designers come together to show off their work. On Sunday, April 28th 2013 we will be highlighting the artists in our market who live and breathe LA. Their artwork will be displayed for you to look at… SLOWLY. The unique part of MTP’s Slow Art Day is that you can speak with the artist about their work while you’re looking at it! Slow Art patrons will be given a brochure to show them how to find the artists in our market of treasures. You will also be invited to share your findings while lunching in the food court.

About Slow Art Day: Slow Art Day is a worldwide celebration of art that encourages people to look at art SLOWLY – and thereby experience art in a new way. You can see more about Slow Art Day and the mission behind it on our website: http://SlowArtDay.com.

As Slow Art Day approaches, you’ll hear from your host with more information, as well as instructions about what to do when you arrive for Slow Art Day.
